Let’s hear it for the leaders, trailblazers, and game changers.
Jake Farrant, CEO of MMTH (pronounced “Mammoth”), has been recognized as a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 Heartland Award. The Entrepreneur Of The Year program recognizes ambitious business leaders who are changing the game, disrupting industries, and raising up their communities.

Jake joins the ranks of past Midwestern honorees, including Maxine Clark of Build-A-Bear Workshop, Richard Schulze of Best Buy, and Jude Bricker of Sun Country Airlines.
“I’m honored to be named a finalist and grateful for my team at MMTH that makes it all possible,” said Jake. “This recognition reflects their hard work and the impact we make on schools and communities. I’ve always believed that strong leadership is about empowering people. Our team’s success is a direct result of that shared commitment.”
